Where children once played - Charlbury, Oxfordshire
The name Charlbury - Ceorl's bury (?) is said to date from Anglo Saxon times. This village beside the River Evenlode once hosted many trades and was a centre of the glove-making industry from the 1800s to the 1960s. There was once an annual fair, held on a number of sites in the village, but this was stopped in 1857 when the proceedings became too rowdy. Sadly the YHA vanished from the place some years ago. In the churchyard is the grave of a man who was killed during the making of the railway 'by a fall of earth in Sydenhams Mead'. The Playing Close has been set aside for children's play since mediaeval times and towards the end of the 19th century was the site of a market. Time photo taken 2.23 pm BST (British Summer Time).
